hi developers: our Android Google adsense account(for android) was disabled due to 'modifying the ad behavior'.
At first we got a email from adsense team said: "...After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity...". then we account get disabled without any warning and also lost all money in that account (we have more than 10,000 dollars in that account). we are surprised that our applications generated more than 200,000 pv per day. and we never encourage user to click ads. then we appealed since this reason is not acceptable. after that got second mail from adsense said that disable our account since Google think it is related to another abused adsense account. but we do not have any other adsense accounts that in use(our team have another adsense account but never used before). so we appealed again. today we get the final email from adsense team said that: "...we have confirmed that your account that was closed was modifying the ad behavior which is strictly prohibited as stated in the AdSense policies... This will be the final communication about this issue. Please do not reply to this email as you will not receive a response..." then we finally lost our account and our money. according to the reason "modifying the ad behavior". the only place that maybe change the behavior is that since we added code as below to fix the crash problem that caused by Google Android adsense sdk: GoogleAdView adView = (GoogleAdView) activity.findViewById(R.id.ad<http://r.id.ad/> ); if (adView != null) { View vc = adView.getCurrentView(); if (vc instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vc).destroy(); } View vn = adView.getNextView(); if (vn instanceof WebView) { ((WebView) vn).destroy(); } } one month before. we have the crash issues that caused by adsense sdk. then we asked in this mail list (with title "Android Google Adsence exist abnormally"). to see if someone else have same issue and if there is a solution for it. at least 2 others have same problem and we find the solution as above and it works. the bug is caused since some resource of adsense sdk is not destroyed as expected. some one else if did same as us please careful with your account. we spent lots of hours to work on android application and use adsense as our main ads source. our strategy has been affected a lot since this issues. i do not know why that disable our account suddenly (just one day before every month's payment day). at least should give us a warning and let us to fix it. and we think we do not do anything wrong. since Adsense sdk for android is still in beta testing and have bugs in it. what we did it just to make sure it will not crash our applications. thanks for you guys time -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
